Matt Hardy Says The New Day Pitched To Work A Match With Then In WWE
While appearing on the Battleground podcast recently, Matt Hardy revealed that during their recent NXT run, The New Day reached out to them about working a match. It seems both parties were interested in this match, but for some reason, it never came to fruition.
Here’s what Matt said:
“I’m not gonna lie, whenever we started going back and forth with WWE and worked some NXT and were NXT Tag Team Champions for a little while, the New Day had reached out and asked us about having a match on WWE programming and do a little program with them. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite work out.”

The New Day recently left WWE after the company reportedly asked them to take a pay cut. After this news became public, many wrestlers came forward to show support for them. It’s unknown where The New Day will go next.
Both Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods are some of the most talented wrestlers on the planet, and there’s no doubt they’ll get work wherever they want to go. A lot of fans want Kingston and Woods to join AEW, as their talent will greatly elevate the promotion’s tag team division.
